May 21, 2003—San Diego, CA—With today’s release of Dr. DivX™ video software, consumers around the world can quickly and easily create great-looking DivX® video files from virtually any source. Developed by the company that created the revolutionary, patent-pending DivX video compression technology, Dr. DivX is now available for purchase at www.divx.com/divx/drdivx.

Dr. DivX was designed to enable anyone to create high-quality DivX video in three easy steps, turning a once cumbersome and time-consuming video encoding process into a quick and easy procedure. The first and only official DivX video encoding application, Dr. DivX easily converts almost any video format into great-looking DivX video for the highest visual quality at the greatest level of compression.

Dr. DivX accepts video input from a variety of sources including MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DV, AVI, WMV, AVS and live capture from a capture card or webcam, and quickly converts these files into highly compressed DivX video. DivX is the world’s leading MPEG-4 compatible video compression technology, providing DVD-quality at 1/10th the size of MPEG-2. By utilizing Dr. DivX to easily convert video files, consumers can free up hard drive space, improve visual quality, and easily transfer and share videos with friends and family through Internet or CD-ROM distribution.

“Dr. DivX is the most versatile and easy-to-use video encoding application available on the market,” said Kevin Hell, chief marketing officer and managing director of DivXNetworks, Inc. www.divxnetworks.com. “Our talented team of video engineers worked hard to create a user-friendly product that offers all of the functionality of complicated, high-end video encoding applications at a fraction of the price and complexity. Anyone with a PC can now easily convert their home videos or bulky video files to DivX, gaining much better compression with no loss in quality. The end result is a significant savings in hard drive space and easier distribution of high-quality video files among friends and family.”

Dr. DivX includes a number of advanced features previously only found in expensive, professional video software applications.
